Identify similar shapes with and without rotation.
Use real shapes and objects in their environment that students can relate to.
Orientation on 4 quadrant graph paper. Quadrant one (x/y positive/positive), Quadrant two (x/y, negative/positive), Quadrant three (x/y negative/negative), Quadrant four (x/y positive/negative).
Vocabulary: Translations, Reflections, Rotations, Congruence, Transformation
Review with students the different types of transformations.
Using the Valentine’s Day Transformation Worksheet Identify all the different types of tranformations found.
The student should record each of the transformation with a clear description of the move using the media of their choice.
If the student is having difficulty identifying the different transformations review again the different types and give concrete examples.
Once the student is confident in his/her ability to identify the different types of transformation review the Grid Art Guidelines.
The student should complete their Grid Art along with an explanation of the different types of transfomration.
This lesson will require the student to create art on a 4 quadrant coordinate grid.
This lesson should not be done until the student has completed the lessons on translation, reflection and rotation
If this is being done as a classroom lesson students could work together on completing their “Grid Art”.
